Hebron is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Boone County, Kentucky, United States. It is named after the biblical city of Hebron. As of the 2020 census, it had a population of 6,195. The wider Hebron area is home to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, which serves Cincinnati and the Tri-State (Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana) area.
Previously known as Briar Thicket and possibly Hecla, the community post office established in 1858 was named for the local Hebron Lutheran Church.[2]
Hebron is located in northern Boone County, on the western edge of the Cincinnati–Covington suburbs. Interstate 275 forms the northern edge of the CDP, with the CDP of Francisville to the north. The center of Hebron is focused around the intersection of Kentucky Route 20 and Kentucky Route 237, located 3miles west of the entrance to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Downtown Cincinnati is to the east of Hebron by I-275 and I-75/71.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Hebron has a total area of 16.7sqkm, of which 0.03sqkm, or 0.18%, is water.[3]
Hebron is served by one daily newspaper, The Kentucky Enquirer (an edition of The Cincinnati Enquirer), and by one weekly newspaper, The Boone County Recorder. Hebron is also served by twelve television stations and many radio stations as part of the Greater Cincinnati media market.

Hebron is served by one major interstate highway. Interstate 275 is an outer-belt highway through Northern Kentucky.
It is also served by numerous state highways: Kentucky Route 237 (North Bend Road), Kentucky Route 20 (Petersburg Road), and formerly Kentucky Route 3168 (Limaburg Road).
ARTIMIS is Greater Cincinnati's interstate information service. Current highway conditions are available 24/7 locally by dialing 511. For out-of-town drivers or "511"-disabled phone systems, one can call 513-333-3333.
In 2010, work on the KY 237 bridge over I-275 finished, with additional sidewalk and storm drain work.
